Life Of Other Belts

[camlex]

Hello,

I did TB and other belts changed Dec 2004 @ 130,000. Now car has 177,000. I knows that TB should change every 60-70K. What about others belt (PS, ALt. etc.)

Thanks in advance.

90,000 mile timingbelt & water pump changes. Change the accessory belts then. They normally should last a good 7-10 years. I.E. you'll want to change them with the timing belt.

Thanks,

It's good to know that TB will last to 90,000.

I will change other belts at sametime.

Again, thanks for your input.

Since you have a 97 if you go over the 90K and the belt break, no big deal.

There isn't a system, the valves simply don't interffere with the pistons at any orientation. The belt snaps, it's gonna destroy the timing belt covers, and possibly a cam sprocket in the process. Killed ym front sprocket...
